We know Louis C.K.’s humor can venture into the vulgar on occasion, and we’d like argue against such things (we like to keep it clean for the kiddos), but the truth is, we’re crazy about the guy.

Louis C.K. gets a little serious about texting and driving during an appearance on Conan

Texting and driving is serious, and has become a leading cause of death for teen drivers according to a 2013 study. So when we came across this clip from one of Louis C.K.’s Conan appearances, where he focuses his famous brand of comedic genus at the nonsensical practice of texting and driving, we felt compelled to share.

Conclusion

Texting and driving, or distracted driving, makes a crash 23 times more likely as it dramatically takes your attention from the road. To put this in perspective, a 5 second texting and driving distraction while traveling at 55 mph equates to the length of a football field. That’s a lot of travel distance at a high rate of speed with no one at the wheel.

Even with all the news, statistics, and parental nudging, statistics show that 800,000 people are texting and driving at any given time. It’s time to get a bit more serious about texting and driving.
